hi whats the last year for f-250 with front Coil Spring 78or 79 or and the 80's
see I am going to put my 87 nissan truck on a older ford frame and running gear
my nissan with sas and the frame is all rust out
o and does any one have photos or a older f250 like 78 or so with no body on the frame
thanks

Well the current super dutys have coils, 2wd f250s have coils but no 4wd f250s in the 70s or eighties had coils. 70s f150 did have coils and a straight axle in the front, maybe that's what your thinking of.

I was thinking of the 4x4 ones in the 70's straight axle with but if they did not they did not what was I thinking:shaking:

FWIW it isn't uncomman to see a 1/2 ton from those years upgraded with 3/4 ton parts, most of the time people put a full floating rear and then swap 3/4 ton stuff on to the 1/2 ton axle so the bolt patterns are the same.

70's to 2008 depending on model....

ok thanks I think a lot of people think they have f250 frame but they are f150 frame is they any thing to look of for then buy buying a 70's ford frame
and does any one have photos of a 70's ford frame with no body on it

Yeah, look at the vin on the frame.. should start with "F26xxxxxxxxxxxxxx" for a 3/4 ton 4x4 truck.

Hmm, last year for a 4x4 F250 with coils, well, I believe they're building 08's now, first year would be 05... All prior were leaf.

ok thanks for the help
but I see alot on 1979 f250 frames with coil springs they must have put them on
or they have f150 frames and they think they are f250
see what i mean http://www.cardomain.com/ride/627180/1

That shows one guy got his facts wrong, or didn't go into enough detail.
Happens all the time.

Just one from that site -> http://securityresponse.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2002-101518-4323-99

The guy in that link may be calling that an F-250 because it has 3/4 ton axles, but it is a 1/2 ton frame. The 3/4 ton frame does not have coil buckets and shock towers like that. The have shackles and leafsprings. Shocks go to the axles, not the radius arms.

ok thanks that is all
